solar fuses
What fuses are you guys using to connect you solar panels to controller and controller to battery's?

Seems like if something happens in the confines of a trailer a fuse isn’t going to help much, the battery or controller will still be pumping juice through the line up to the fuse block most likely melting wire and starting a fire. On my trailer near as I can tell the main lines off the battery to the converter are not fused.
